Is NOD32 the best av.there is at this moment?

Is NOD32 the best av.there is at this moment?

The first time i heared about NOD32 was when i downloaded the new version of the freeware hitmanpro antispywaresoftware(hitmanpro.nl)
When Hitmanpro started NOD32(trial version) i saw a speed i ve never seen before!
This was the moment when i started thinking of saying goodbye to Norton.
After installing hitmanpro on a friends pc and seeing NOD32 catch some new unknown virus and several spyware(think it was something like pretty boops.exe and some others)i desided to read a bit more about NOD32.

What i found while reading was:Real-time protection against viruses, spyware, adware, and identity theft.
NOD32 offers the best detection, fastest performance, and smallest footprint available,Unprecedented heuristic analysis And more!

Hi, I have used it in the past, and consider it to be a solid and reliable product overall.

I like the heuristics, but it does tend to err on the cautious side. I don't mind that as I know how to investigate to see if it is a false positive......................however, I wouldn't give it to an inexperienced user.

It is both small and fast

As for "best"..............these products leapfrog each other every month...................I do tend to avoid Norton & McAfee in a domestic or SOHO environment because they have become very bloated and prone to conflicts.

I guess I would be happy to use it as my AV if I had to, but there are free ones like AVG and AVAST that are pretty good?
